Abstract: Disclosed is a method of making a trichloromethoxybenzene from a methoxybenzene or partially chlorinated methoxybenzene, such as anisole or p - chloroanisole, that contains at least 20 ppm phenol. The phenol concentratio n is reduced to less than 20 ppm and a mixture is prepared of the methoxybenze ne and a source of chlorine free radicals, such as chlorine or sulfuryl chlorid e. The reaction is performed in a solvent, which can be either benzotrifluoride , orthochlorobenzotrifluoride, metachlorobenzotrifluoride, parachlorobenzotrifluoride, or a dichlorobenzotrifluoride. The mixture is exposed to actinic radiation, such as ultraviolet light, which generates the  chlorine free radicals.

Patent CA-2346588-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KIRCHOFF PAUL
IPC: G16B15/30
Filed: 2001-05-08
Abstract: This application discloses methods and systems of predicting binding affinity between a ligand and a receptor. In one embodiment, the predicted binding affinity (pK i) is determined by at least using a formula pK i = C0 + C1 * vdW + C2 * Att_pol +  C3 * (Att_pol * Att_pol + Rep_pol * Rep_pol). vdW represents the van der Waals interaction energy between the ligand and the receptor. Att_pol represents the surface area of the ligand forming complimentary polar interactions with the receptor. Rep_pol represents the surface area of the ligand forming uncomplimentary polar interactions with the receptor. This application also discloses an improved process of calculating linear interpolation of grid-based vdW energy. A first non-linear function is transformed into a less non-linear second non-linear function to reduce the error in linear interpolation. A  trilinear interpolation process is applied to the second non-linear function. The value obtained is reverse transformed to produce an estimated vdW energy.

Title: Closure assembly for lined tanks, and vehicles equipped with the same
Inventor: BERKLEY GEORGE A
IPC: F17C13/00
Filed: 2000-02-15
Abstract: This pressurized-gas storage assembly includes a pressure vessel having a gas storage chamber and access opening, a polar boss extending through the access opening, a plastic liner lining the gas storage chamber, and a fitting body. The plastic liner includes a nipple portion that extends into the polar boss, terminates at an annular rim, and has a screw-threaded radially inner surface region. The fitting body includes a head portion, an extension longitudinally extending from an end of the head portion and having a screw-threaded radially outer surface region, and an annular shoulder. The annular shoulder has an annular recess formed therein, with a compressible O-ring being accommodated within he annular recess. By inserting the extension through the access opening and positioning the screw-threaded radially outer surface region of the extension into mechanical engagement with the screw-threaded radially inner surface region of the nipple portion, the O-ring is compressed between the annular shoulder of the fitting body and the annular rim of the liner. As a consequence, the O-ring is compressed and a hermetic seal is established between the inner liner and the fitting body, thereby preventing escape of stored compressed gas through the access opening.

Title: Gasket and method for fabrication and use with corrugated pipe
Inventor: ANDRICK WILLIAM C
IPC: F16J3/04
Filed: 2001-12-12
Abstract: A resilient compressible gasket having an embedment portion, a pipe engaging portion and a intermediate "radius" portion integral with the embedment and pipe engaging portions. The gasket assumes a "pleated" configuration when in the operative position, the pipe engaging portion extending through the embedment portion, yielding a gasket which compensates for deviation of the pipe from a nominal horizontal alignment without any reduction in the water-tight seal provided by the gasket. The gasket is sized to provide for easy insertion of a corrugated pipe into the pipe engaging portion while providing an excellent water-tight seal when clamped into position about one or more annular recesses and peaks of the corrugated pipe. Another embodiment of the gasket is designed to be secured to a cored or performed opening in a cast member through the use of an expansion--type clamping assembly. The free end of the pipe engaging portion is preferably provided with a radially outwardly directed flange which greatly facilitates alignment of the pipe engaging portion with an annular recess (or an annular peak) of a corrugated pipe.

Patent CA-2369490-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PREVOST LEON
IPC: F24F13/06
Filed: 2002-01-25
Abstract: A high pressure air supply duct is terminated by a termination receptacle defining a cylindrical housing with an inlet pipe connected to the duct and generally at right angles to the axis. The housing has one end closed and a mounting flange member at the open end for attachment of the housing to a mounting surface. A generally cylindrical damper sleeve has an open discharge end connected to a vent plate and an insertion portion extending to the bottom of the housing for receiving the air therefrom. The vent plate has a plate portion with a central perforated discharge area which is perforated for the passage of air therethrough and a peripheral surrounding flange and can be rotated about the axis of the housing to rotate the damper sleeve. The damper sleeve has a projecting notch engaging into a slot in the housing to hold it in place. The bottom end of the sleeve is smoothly curved to guide the air to turn from the smaller inlet pipe into the larger housing where it can expand as it passes to the vent plate. The insertion portion of the damper sleeve member is shaped with a cut out to co-operate with the circular cylindrical portion of the housing to move gradually between a first position in which the opening is fully exposed by cut out in the insertion portion allowing passage of air from the inlet through the full area of the opening into the housing and a second position in which the cut out is turned and the insertion portion fully covers the opening thus closing off flow of air through the opening into the housing such that the insertion portion acts as a damper.
